    This was my daughter's favorite dish (along with some of her friends). She enjoyed it so much that we had to make it a weekly recipe.

      10 stars! Wow, wow, wow. So easy and so tasty. I used the pesto packet from Aldi's. Used 3 small breasts and an 8x8 pan. Added 1 can of artichoke hearts and 1 tomato roughly chopped (next time I will add more tomatoes). Absolutely wonderful! Made a side of steamed broccoli and we were good to go! My breading (panko) turned out really fluffy and soft and huge so next time I will make this without the breading. I am actually going to make it for friends on Saturday night again. THANKS for posting.

      I love pesto, so I knew I had to try this. Art, your daughter has excellent taste! I served this with spaghetti noodles tossed with more pesto and garlic and parmessan cheese. A fabulous Sunday dinner!

      So good! I used a refrigerated jarred pesto sauce, added tomatoes, artichokes, used fresh mushrooms instead of canned, and served over pasta. Yum! I will definitely make this again! Even my chicken-hater husband loved it! Next time, I will probably cut the chicken breasts into smaller pieces, sautee the mushrooms (I just threw them in raw) and maybe sautee some onions with the mushrooms. I was very pleased that I was able to make a chicken dish that I would be happy with if I ordered it at a restaurant--I have had trouble with drying chicken out. Not this one--moist and delicious!
